Scarves!

I have just returned from a lovely holiday in Florida where the weather was a gorgeous 28+ every single day.  I step off of the plane in Bristol and what greets me? Grey skies, a lack luster drizzle and a terrible chill. The weather has changed and whenever this time of year rolls around I am reminded of a line from a Death Cab for Cutie: 'I don't mind the weather, I've got scarves and caps and sweaters.'

It is Autumn/Winter fashion time which is my favourite time for fashion. Jewel colours! Layers! Boots! Shaving isn't mandatory and I don't feel guilty for my love of pale skin and hatred of fake tan. One of the staples of Winter fashion that I have never been able to master however is decorative scarves. I love the look of them on other people but can never get them to hang right on me. This does not stop my love of them however and Ollie&Nic have just launched a mid season sale that has a scarf in it that I fell in love with a month ago when I'd already spent all of my pay.

This Winter Rose scarf is currently on sale down from £28 to £20. I loved this from the moment I saw it. The pinks and reds compliment the grey so nicely and could make a basic top really pop. I'm crossing my fingers hoping it will still be there when my next pay comes in! It also comes in blue if grey isn't your thing.
